    The potential application of the desired technology device is board and is not limited to TMCs. The researchers/inventors are encouraged to consider issues beyond TMC operations

    Traffic flow management for both safety and congestion mitigation is the primary focus. The device is also expected to provide more comprehensive traffic monitoring for all areas and roadway types.

    The traffic monitoring device (or device package) should consider the fogging, wet pavement, and icy pavement issues and not leave it as an afterthought in the process. Obviously, the development can be a step-wise approach.

    FHWA’s traffic monitoring guide’s 13 vehicle types, NHTSA GVW 1 to 8 classes, any other body configuration detection, electric powered vs non electric powered

    As event occurs, the expectation is that the device has the ability to transmit the detection result at the moment with minimum to no delay.

    Government supports all forms of the invention. It is up to the inventors/researchers to develop suitable devices to integrate.

    The solicitation does not intend to replace existing traffic data sensors; Incident via various data forms are the focus.

    1)What are the constraints around ‘low-power’ – e.g. <1W, <10W, <100W? What power source is the solution expected to use (mains voltage, solar, etc)?

    Area and location. For example, rural areas without main power lines, sites such as embedments in pavements, and roadway medians.

    2) Are the topic authors looking to fuse sensor and video metadata through edge computing, or replace all sensors with only cameras?-

    All are inclusive.

    3) Will the topic authors provide sample data sets for video and sensor data to optimize proposed solutions?

    No.

    4) Are there any specific mounting location boundary conditions on the cameras and computer hardware – e.g. top of a pole, roadside at vehicle level, etc. ?

    No.

    5) Are the topic authors open to wireless data transmission solutions other than cellular networks, to better serve rural areas?

    We support all forms.

    6) Is there an existing edge compute platform or camera hardware set that we are required to utilize, or is that open to specification?

    No required platform or hardware. We are open to new specifications.

    The interpretation is correct in general. Technologies which can be developed and deployed for retrofitting are welcome, too.

    1. What type and volume of data being processed and stored at the edge?
    Types and volumes of data being processed will depend on the technology a sensor is used. It is up to the inventor and researcher.
    2. What size of the algorithms and models being run on the device? It depends on the sensor and the inputs you will use.
    3. What amount of historical data being stored for analysis? This is up to the researcher and inventor. The incorporation of the edge device is to minimize the data transmission burden. On-device storage should not be a challenge.

    Counting vehicles include count, vehicle class (axle-based and body-based), electric scooters, electric bicycles, conventional bicycles, and speed. In addition, the capability to detect fogging, wet pavement, and icy pavement conditions is also desired.

    This is an open to the inventor. The goal is to ensure broad and generic adoptability.

    Vehicle counts, vehicle classification counts, and micro-mobility devices counts (e.g., conventional bicycles, electric bicycles, electric scooters).

    The designed device should include a data transfer module that transfers data

    The purpose of this device is to increase its detection capacity and reduce data transmission demand. Video is just one of the potential signals the sensors may need to process; The “traditional traffic data sensor” may include but be not limited to images from cameras, signals from radar, various waves (laser, radar), and electromagnetic waves. The key is to increase the capability of existing sensors or invent new sensors.
